〜 get to know us 〜
a moment for RTR
At Root to Rise Psychotherapy + Wellness — a virtual and in-community mental health practice — we believe therapy should feel human, accessible, and real. We’re here to break the mold of “traditional therapy” by creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment or labels.
We work with children, teens, first responders, students, athletes, parents, professionals, and anyone navigating the messy, beautiful complexity of being human. Whether you’re processing trauma, facing burnout, wrestling with anxiety, or simply craving more clarity and connection, we walk alongside you — combining expertise with genuine care.
We offer sessions online and within the community — from walk-and-talks to on-site support at workplaces and schools — because healing doesn’t always happen in an office. And with flexible pricing and a no-barrier approach, you don’t need to “qualify” for support. If you’re reaching out, you’ve already taken the bravest step.
🌱 Our Story
Root to Rise began as a quiet dream — to create a space where therapy could feel less clinical and more human.
It started in 2022 with one therapist, one laptop, and a deep belief in connection and care. Today, it’s a growing team supporting clients across Ontario — all guided by the same mission: to make therapy feel like coming home to yourself.
Because healing doesn’t just happen in sessions — it happens in every small, brave moment you choose yourself. 🌿
our roots

You set the pace. We respect your boundaries and create a space where you can exhale and just be.

inclusivity & belonging
We celebrate and affirm people of all identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Our practice is a space where you are welcomed exactly as you are.
collaboration & empowerment
We work alongside you, supporting your autonomy, self-awareness, and confidence to make choices that align with your values and needs. You are the expert on your own life.
resilience & growth
We believe in your capacity to heal, adapt, and thrive. Together, we build on your strengths, navigate challenges, and celebrate your progress along the way.
integrity & innovation
We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards while embracing curiosity, ongoing learning, and fresh, evidence-based approaches to care.
our promise to you
We believe in the transformative power of human connection in healing. This is not a space for pretending or performing — it’s a space for real conversations, shared humanity, and honest growth.
We meet you with authenticity, empathy, and a deep respect for your story, walking beside you with curiosity and care. Therapy with us isn’t about “fixing” you — because you’re not broken. It’s about helping you rise from challenges, reconnect with your purpose, and trust in your capacity to live fully and well.
